I never intended to make a legal threat and if it is perceived as such I retract it. I apologize and affirm that it will not happen again. I have been blocked now for four days. Please unblock my page and allow me to continue to edit. I have been editing for nine years without complaint. I only wanted to discuss and improve Wikipedia's coverage of the topic othe page that formerly was my biography. In fact, there is no copyright issue on the page. I own the copyright on the image and released all my rights in perpetuity to Wikipedia.You said I was infringing the copyright of  the  reference to me on http://www.jamesgoodale.net/abouttv/20092010tvlist.html. I did not post this reference, and I am happy to delete it in any event.You said I was infringing a reference to the book, Supremely Partisan as to which I am the copyright owner.(Registration Number / Date:	TXu001977609 / 2015-08-20). I did not understand the basis for this, and only wanted to bring the situation to your attention. Thank you for your consideration. Jim Zirin (talk) 12:41, 30 September 2017 (UTC)September 30, 2017

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jzirin. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article James D. Zirin, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Mr. MacTidy (talk) 21:46, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * To add to this, you should not be editing the article about yourself and instead request changes on the talk page. CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  23:50, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Jim Zirin.jpeg


A tag has been placed on File:Jim Zirin.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to James D. Zirin, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Mr. MacTidy (talk) 18:27, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Please stop continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to James D. Zirin, without resolving the problem that the template refers to.

September 2017
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Seraphimblade Talk to me 10:45, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Your recent edits to Talk:James D. Zirin could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. Mr. MacTidy (talk) 10:45, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * In addition to the above, after having reviewed what you've been doing, the material you've been posting has been heavily promotional. Wikipedia does not permit promotional material, and strongly discourages writing about something one has a conflict of interest with, including oneself. If you would like to promote yourself, there are many sites which do permit such material. You should consider using one of them instead. Seraphimblade Talk to me 10:51, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Unblocked
As you've retracted/clarified the situation on the legal threat matter, and that was the reason for your block, I've unblocked you. However, as noted above, you'd also been engaged in promotional editing. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and presume you may not have known what was expected in regards to that. If you're editing about yourself, or something else you have a conflict of interest in (relative, employer/employee, a company you have a stake in promoting, etc.), it's generally expected that rather than directly making edits or creating articles, you'd suggest them and have editors without a COI review the material first. If you have any questions about how to go about that, you're certainly welcome to ask me. Seraphimblade Talk to me 15:14, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Chetsford (talk) 09:43, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, you have a fast and loose style of referencing. On further inspection some of these are sourced to nyc.gov which I'll take to be WP:RS. However, I can't approve this as it still lacks notability. As I see it, the points of notability come down to:
 * Book as bestseller: There are so many bestseller lists that this, of itself, is not sufficient, per WP:AUTHOR. If this were a New York Times bestseller that would be a different story. In the absence of a more specific source, however, I can't assume it is.
 * Book as award recipient: The Kirkus Star does not meet the criteria of a "major literary award" listed under WP:BOOKCRIT. A Booker Prize, Nobel Prize, etc., would, but more than 100 books get Kirkus Stars annually so this is probably correctly classified as a "minor literary award."
 * Conversations with Jim Zirin: According to the only source offered, it is cablecast in NYC. Having a local TV show is not, by itself, a presumption of notability. If the TV show is the subject of widespread media coverage then the host could be notable, but that is not established in the draft.
 * Author of 100 op-eds: This is unsourced.
 * Who's Who: This is explicitly rejected as a symbol of notability in WP:BIO as it accepts self-nominations.
 * Aside from the core issue of a lack of notability, there is the other issue that this article does not have references, other than the nyc.gov link, that give any biographical detail of the subject of the article. They merely prove he is a living person. Proving someone is a living human is not sufficient to establish that person's notability. Ideal additions to this article would be things like: a profile story in a major newspaper, a tribute article in a scholarly journal, a biography of the subject published by a reputable publishing house, etc. Vicki Been is an ideal model article of an American attorney who might not be widely known but can establish a track record of consistent and regular coverage - of an in-depth and biographical nature - in RS which establish her notability.
 * Another issue is that there are external links in the body of the article in violation of WP:EXT.
 * Yet another issue is that there are no sources to prove "He is married to Marlene Hess, daughter of American businessman Leon Hess.". Marlene Hess is covered by WP:BLP (even if she may not be the subject of this article) and we can't publish a claim she is married to James D. Zirin without reliable sources. This is doubly important as the phrasing of the sentence establishes Marlene Hess' identity exactly (the daughter of Leon Hess), as opposed to any random person named Marlene Hess.
 * A short summary of the problems with this article might quote from a review The Economist penned of one of Zirin's books - that is, the claims in it are "asserted rather than demonstrated."'''

Best selling books
Hi Jair in,

I was wondering if you could tell me which best seller lists were your books listed on? If you give me some information on it, I will try to find a source we can add to the article about you. I know you are not allowed to directly edit the article, but if you list any information here, I will evaluate it and add it to the article if I deem its inclusion is warranted. Thank you.
